Our Mission
Educational Access
A free event on the UC Berkeley campus offering egg hunts, learning booths, and performances while introducing children to the benefits of higher education.

Campus Unity

History
In the fall of 1994, undergraduate students from the Alumni Scholars Club proposed creating a learning festival at UC Berkeley to inspire children from under-represented communities toward higher education. With support from the California Alumni Association and UC Berkeley alumni, the first Eggster festival was held on April 15, 1995.
Today, the Eggster Committee is made up of Alumni Scholars and other Cal student volunteers, supported by the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC).
First Festival — 1995
Over two thousand community members and three hundred UC Berkeley students participated in the inaugural free event.
